I can only continue to tell you how highly I think of
mindark's work
So as I'm sure you can tell this is more of an emotional piece. I know some would consider it a waste to have a character like mine to be drawn all sad and stuff but not all art his happy and sexy.
I've really been having a 'low' few months. I've been busy at work and such, sure. But life is going pretty good for me these days. It is hard to shake the loneliness. I've been single for quite some time now and now that I've got my shit together and am ready emotionally/financially for a mate I just seem not to have much luck. I can even tell it is starting to have an effect on how I treat my friends, or rather the fact that I've more or less hid behind the 'invisible' button on messenger for a few months now. My online friends are great and all, but it is just hard for me because I keep subconsciously holding it against them that they aren't the mate I desire so deeply.
I'm optimistic lately though. I've reluctantly signed up at Furry Mate and have met a few nice people. Though it is hard to tell what could come of those relationships. I'm VERY reluctant to have a long distance relationship because the one's I've had in the past were never as serious to the other person as they were for me. I'm not opposed to a long distance relationship, though I'd like the timeline for being together to be rather short. I'm ready for a REAL relationship and don't want to be jerked around emotionally anymore. I'm stable where I am and could take a mate in, but I'm not opposed to moving to someone who is rooted more firmly where they are and is doing better than I am financially. Particularly if they have a job they love, because my job is just to make ends meet.
I've also just recently found the site where furs in my area post meets and get togethers. It will be nice to meet some people locally after I've largely assumed they didn't exist.
So thanks for reading and I hope i didn't give you a buzzkill for posting this after all that murry porn :P

I'm sorry you feel bad, I've been there plenty of times if not for different reasons. Especially lately, with everything that's been going on.
I know it's hard for you, it's always hard. Especially because you feel like you want to be with someone and haven't found anyone. But, that's hard for everyone. There are plenty of people who spend time without being in a relationship. and OF COURSE you're just finding long distance relationships, because I know you, and you don't get out to meet people or do anything where you live. I hope you actually meet up with other furries, even if you just end up having friends from them. Maybe you should look for friends, before just only thinking about finding a 'mate.'
I'm sorry you've been down and having troubles lately, but as far as I'm concerned that doesn't give you an excuse to blow off all your friends. I still talk to people when I'm upset, because I CARE about them. Even when I 'subconsciously' wanted to be with people (Like when I liked you, or Raith, or foxy) I still talked to them and make time for them because despite our issues, they're my friends. I haven't heard from you in almost a month, and the latest reply I get is asking to be in free art? EXCUSE ME for being upset and feeling like you don't care. Every time you're on, I am the one to reach out and talk to you (and I'm on a lot of the time throughout the day, sometimes even at 2 or 3 am). The times I was silent, you never spoke first, and I've been on pretty much every day at SOME point in time, so you'll also have to excuse me that even if you didn't ever see me on, it's no excuse for never talking to me and only replying to a free art thread.
I hope you find nice people and find a person who you truly love and deserve and who you'll hopefully treat better than people who aren't your 'mate' even though it seems that's all you care about anymore.
